Course Description
Economic growth requires constantly growing use of energy, and the availability of sufficient sources of energy on a global scale are not unlimited. Energy – oil, gas, power – remains one of the biggest businesses, and maintains a strategic characterisation that sets it aside from other economic sectors. As such, it attracts the attention of industrial, financial and political actors internationally. This course aims to provide students with the critical knowledge and skills to avoid superficial generalisations and simplifications – which unfortunately remain all too common.
